The signs of requiring more medical assistance is when there are increasing WBC count. When different organs are attacked by excess WBC is a sign that there is trouble. Another sign is when WBC seem to go bad and attack healthy cells in organs. I do not think a person should wait for organs to be attacked before seeking a solution to control the issue of excess WBC?
Yes. I had the same experience. From diagnosis to second appointment is 8 months. In' that time of wait and see, i wondered if there were any signs of worseing. I have not noticed anything untoward
Latent leukemia, or leukemia that doesn't show symptoms initially, can be challenging to detect early. Here are some important warnings and considerations:
- No Early Screening: There are no screening exams to catch leukemia early
- Symptom Overlap: Symptoms may be mistaken for the flu or other common illnesses.
- Routine Show Full Answer
The early screening to detect excess white blood cells or leukemia is called "blood test." This is how I was informed of my issue? People take blood tests for many different reasons and with flu and colds the WBC may increase to 11,000 cells? During my flu like illness I had 19,000 WBC which was a high number for a person with the flu or cold. I think 100% of people are informed after a "blood test?"
